WAN (Wide Area Network)

  • Is a data communications network that connects user networks over a large geographical area.
  • WAN operates at the physical layer and data link layer of the OSI reference model.

WAN Devices

Router Physical Characteristics 2/

  • External Connection on a 2600 Router

Router LANs and WANs

  • Routers have both LAN and WAN interfaces. Routers are the backbone devices of large intranets and of the internet. Two main functions of a router are the selection of best path and the switching packets to the proper interfaces.
  • A correctly configured internetwork in router provides the following:
    • Consistent end to end addressing
    • Addresses that represent network topologies
    • Best path selection
    • Dynamic or static routing
    • Switching

Connecting WAN Interfaces

Point-to-Point connection between two computers or Local Area Networks (LANs). It is most secure but expensive. A dedicated circuit path is created between end points. Best example is dialup connections. It is less expensive but call setup Devices transport packets via a shared single point-to-point or point-to-multipoint link across a carrier internetwork. Variable length packets are transmitted over Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC) or Switched Virtual Circuits (SVC). Disadvantage: Shared media across link
